N.C. State Fair Homegrown Music Fest Artists Announced

fairRALEIGH – The N.C. State Fair is the first fair in the United States to showcase talent that has roots in its own state. That sends a pretty powerful message about North Carolina and the immense amount of creative talent that we have in our own backyard. Not only is the State Fair showcasing a diverse, inclusive line-up of many genres of music, but there’s also no additional cost to the fairgoer.

North Carolina has so much to be proud of – great agriculture, outstanding universities, exciting tourism, innovative industries…and right alongside that is music. The N.C. State Fair is truly featuring the music of North Carolina as one of our many great commodities.

Please note: As announced previously, there will be no music stage in Dorton Arena in 2021 to make way for our Got to Be NC Agriculture Pavilion. Stop by to try some of the best local products made in North Carolina!

Come on out. You never know, you may discover your new favorite band!

11 Days. 2 Stages. 105 Concerts. All North Carolina.
